After 4 long months, Hendrix's 1st tooth is starting to pop through. It happened on November 1. I can feel it's rough top breaking through the gum. I'm convinced it's for real now. He's had such a rough time with that. Most people don't believe he has a temper or can protest extra loudly, until he snaps. When he snaps, the caregiver is usually left feeling like they did something wrong, trying to figure out how he can be smiling and laughing one second and screaming so loudly the next. The boy knows how to be heard and to get what he wants.
